Official: Leclerc extends the contract that binds him to Ferrari

The official press release What better occasion than the week leading up to the Monaco GP to make the contract renewal official? Ferrari and Charles Leclerc frame the weekend in the Principality with a bang, below is the official note issued by the Maranello Scuderia. “Scuderia Ferrari HP announces the renewal of its agreement with Charles Leclerc, who will continue to wear the team’s colors in the coming seasons of the Formula 1 World Championship.” “The bond between Charles and Ferrari was born long before his debut in Formula 1. Having joined the Maranello Driver Academy in 2016, the Monegasque driver has built his entire competitive career together with the Scuderia: from the Formula 2 title won in 2017 to his debut in Formula 1 the following year, until his arrival at Scuderia Ferrari in 2019. Since then Charles has become a central presence for the team, standing out for his speed, talent and competitive spirit”. “Over the years he has given the fans memorable victories, pole positions and podiums, increasingly entering the heart of the Scuderia’s history. At just 28 years old, he is already the second Ferrari driver in terms of number of races held in Formula 1 and pole positions, behind only Michael Schumacher. In addition to the results, Charles has built a special relationship with the team and with fans from all over the world, sharing ambition, a sense of belonging and a constant desire to improve with the Scuderia”. Leclerc was not expiring. The performance of the Ferrari SF-26 has therefore convinced Charles Leclerc to continue his indissoluble bond with the Maranello Scuderia. No time reference is made explicit on the nature and possible expiry of the contract renewal, what matters, however, is that it will certainly be in 2027 Leclerc will be at the wheel of the Red. The Monegasque was not out of contract, but the Leclerc-Ferrari combination wanted to send a clear signal of how the bond between them is stronger than ever.
